Chapter 743: Unstoppable Momentum, Wild Joy
“Old Canglong, what is it now?”
The other two wills heard the old voice’s startled cry and immediately asked.
“It’s that four-tribulation Nascent Soul cultivator. He has already cleared the stage.”
“He’s already cleared it? How is that possible? Wasn’t he just unable to crack even a single Formation Barrier a moment ago?”
Both the bell-like voice and the cold voice found it hard to believe.
Yet when they looked at the light screen showing Lu Qing, they happened to see the scene of him being enveloped by a pillar of light and teleported into the third stage.
“He really did clear it. Old Canglong, what exactly happened?” the bell-like voice asked in shock.
“This four-tribulation Nascent Soul cultivator’s speed at breaking formations is… a bit abnormal.” The old voice carried a strange undertone. “From the moment he made his move to the moment he completely cracked the formation, he used only thirty breaths.”
“Thirty breaths to break the master’s Eighteen Mystic Heaven Formation? Impossible!” the bell-like voice exclaimed, instinctively refuting it.
The cold voice was equally shaken.
“Nevertheless, that is the fact,” the old voice said with certainty.
Absurd as it felt even to it, as the existence overseeing the eight trial passages, its perception could not be wrong.
The other two wills fell silent.
In truth, they also knew that with Old Canglong’s capability, it was impossible for it to make such a low-level mistake.
But what it had just said was simply too astonishing.
Thirty breaths to crack the master’s Eighteen Mystic Heaven Formation—such a thing was utterly inconceivable.
Even a formation grandmaster at the Dao-Integration realm might not be able to do it.
And now they were being told that a mere four-tribulation Nascent Soul cultivator had done it. How could they not be shocked?
“There is only one possibility,” the cold voice said after calming down, its tone grave. “During his earlier comprehension, this four-tribulation Nascent Soul cultivator fully grasped the entire Eighteen Mystic Heaven Formation and understands it like the back of his hand. Otherwise, it would be impossible to crack the master’s formation in only thirty breaths.”
“Fully grasp the Eighteen Mystic Heaven Formation in just a few hours—can that be possible?” the bell-like voice couldn’t help saying.
It knew all too well how exquisitely profound the master’s formations were.
For a small four-tribulation Nascent Soul cultivator to comprehend it completely after only a few hours—this, too, was hard to believe.
“So in the time ahead, we watch this four-tribulation Nascent Soul closely. If his formation talent is truly that terrifying, then not only could he become a registered disciple—becoming the master’s direct disciple is not impossible!” the cold voice said seriously, even carrying a trace of excitement.
The other two ancient wills heard this and immediately grew excited as well.
If that was truly the case, then they might have hope of fulfilling the master’s wish that was left behind before departing!
“Good! From now on, we keep our eyes on this four-tribulation Nascent Soul!” they decided at once.
Thus, in the time that followed, all three ancient wills placed all their attention on the light screen displaying Lu Qing’s situation.
They no longer had any leisure to watch even the eight-tribulation and nine-tribulation Nascent Souls.
…
On the other side, Lu Qing had no idea that his performance in the second stage had completely seized the Immortal Palace’s three ancient wills’ attention.
When the light before his eyes faded, he found himself in a new space.
He was likewise trapped by a large number of Formation Barriers, and the number of barriers was even greater than in the second stage—twenty-seven in total.
Only, the number of people had become sparse. There were only him and Su Xingtu, who had cleared the stage earlier.
“Looks like, in the formation passage, the ones at the very front are the two of us,” Lu Qing understood.
Earlier he had even wondered whether someone might have already cleared the stage and entered the third before he reached the second stage.
Now it seemed there still wasn’t any world-defying peerless genius to that extent.
Among those entering this formation trial passage, the strongest formation master was Su Xingtu.
Lu Qing’s arrival naturally drew Su Xingtu’s attention.
He was somewhat surprised. In the second stage, there had indeed been a few formation masters with decent attainments, but by his estimation, none should have cleared it this quickly.
Curious, Su Xingtu looked toward Lu Qing.
Then, when he saw Lu Qing’s face clearly, he froze.
“Impossible. How could it be him!”
Su Xingtu’s eyes widened abruptly as he stared at Lu Qing, unable to believe it—he even suspected he was hallucinating.
Because no matter how he thought about it, he could not have imagined that the one appearing in the third stage would be Lu Qing, this four-tribulation Nascent Soul junior.
He had not forgotten: when he cleared the stage, this four-tribulation Nascent Soul youngster hadn’t even started breaking the formation yet.
But now? He had entered the third stage less than a hundred breaths ago, and this four-tribulation Nascent Soul had already cracked the formation and cleared the stage?
After he left, what in the world happened in the second stage?
Su Xingtu’s mind roiled. At this moment, he saw Lu Qing look over as well. After seeing him, Lu Qing gave a slight nod by way of greeting, then turned his head back and placed his gaze on the Formation Barriers before him again.
His eyes were calm to an extreme, with not the slightest reverence or awe because of Su Xingtu’s cultivation or fame.
As if Su Xingtu were nothing more than an ordinary passerby.
“Interesting…” Su Xingtu also calmed down.
Not only did he not feel annoyed by Lu Qing’s attitude, he found it intriguing instead.
This was rare—rare for him to meet someone in the formation path who could treat him with such calmness.
Thinking of Lu Qing’s earlier performance, Su Xingtu was certain the other party must also be a formation genius of extraordinary talent and lofty pride.
A faint competitive fire suddenly rose in his heart.
“Then let’s see which of us clears this stage first!”
As for what Su Xinghe was thinking, Lu Qing naturally did not know.
Out of courtesy, after signaling to him, Lu Qing turned his attention to the Formation Barriers before him.
At the same time, a piece of information appeared in his mind.
“So the time limit to crack this third stage is three days.”
Lu Qing understood.
After a brief comprehension, he immediately felt a sense of familiarity.
He realized that the formations in this third stage, just like those in the first two stages, were indeed of the same lineage, connected in one continuous thread.
It seemed the formations in the later stages of this formation trial passage were very likely the same.
For Lu Qing, this was naturally excellent news.
Because it meant he had a chance to grasp more of the essence, and thereby glimpse the true formation inheritance hidden within this formation passage.
With that thought in mind, this time Lu Qing did not use his own formation attainments to sense the Formation Barriers before him.
After all, through his comprehension in the first two stages, he already had a clear understanding of his own accumulation in formations.
He directly activated his Spiritual Powers and stared at the Formation Barriers before him.
Soon, several strips of information floated out.
“The formation of the third stage is called the Twenty-Seven Wuji Formation.”
Lu Qing did not hesitate and immediately chose to download it.
After the download finished, he selected simulation, and then began to learn directly.
As a massive flood of formation insights surged up from the depths of his mind, Lu Qing closed his eyes and started to receive and comprehend them.
…
Inside the Immortal Palace, among the three ancient wills who were watching Lu Qing’s every move, the bell-like voice spoke.
“How long do you think this four-tribulation Nascent Soul will take to clear this stage?”
“Hard to say. This little fellow is quite strange, not quite like other formation masters,” the old voice sighed. “He doesn’t like cracking a formation layer by layer.
“Instead, he prefers to comprehend seriously for a while first, then strike in one smooth, decisive burst and break the formation in one go.
“So before he makes a move, nothing can be determined.”
“That only further proves he intends to fully comprehend the entire formation before he chooses to act,” the cold voice said.
Then the Immortal Palace fell quiet again.
The three ancient wills all knew: whether things were as Ming Feng said would become clear the moment this four-tribulation Nascent Soul made a move again.
The time limit for the third stage was three days. Compared to their long lives, this little time was negligible.
They had more than enough patience to wait in silence.
But what the three ancient wills did not expect was that, though they thought they would have to wait at least a day or two to see the outcome, only a little over an hour passed before Lu Qing moved.
“The formation of the third stage is more subtle and complex than the first two, but for me—having already grasped some of the essence—it’s actually easier to comprehend.”
In the third-stage space, Lu Qing opened his eyes. Formation runes flowed within them.
This time, the time he spent comprehending the Twenty-Seven Wuji Formation was even less than in the second stage.
Because in the second stage, he had already grasped a portion of the essence that gave rise to these three grand formations.
Driven by that fundamental concept, even though the Twenty-Seven Wuji Formation was more profound, he understood it faster.
And from these three formations, he also grasped another sliver of the essence of their core inheritance.
“If I can encounter a few more even stronger grand formations, I’ll be able to comprehend more of those fundamental principles. In the end, I might even completely master the core inheritance within this passage.”
Light shone in Lu Qing’s eyes.
He knew the stronger formations he needed would certainly be in the later stages of this formation trial passage.
So he did not hesitate. After opening his eyes, he immediately formed a rapid series of Hand Seals, sending them into the Formation Barriers before him.
“That little fellow has begun breaking the formation—how is it even earlier than the second stage?” the three ancient wills in the Immortal Palace exclaimed in surprise.
Lu Qing’s movement naturally drew their attention at once.
After all, they had been watching his every move.
So when they saw that after only a little over an hour of comprehension he had already begun breaking the formation, they were all shocked.
In the second stage, Lu Qing had spent several hours comprehending the formation.
How was it that upon reaching the third stage, his comprehension time had instead become shorter?
Just as the three ancient wills were still shocked, an even more astonishing scene appeared.
Lu Qing’s series of Hand Seals landed on the light screen before him. In the next instant, the barrier trembled lightly, and in the space of a single breath, it dissipated like a bubble.
Lu Qing did not pause at all. Another series of Hand Seals flew out, and the second barrier was instantly broken as well.
They watched him continuously cast Hand Seals, easily cracking layer after layer of Formation Barriers.
As if what stood before him were not incomparably powerful Formation Barriers, but mere illusory bubbles.
The three ancient wills in the Immortal Palace were completely stunned.
The entire Immortal Palace fell into dead silence.
At this moment, the three ancient wills finally understood how Lu Qing had broken formations in the previous two stages, and why his stage-clearing speed had been so fast.
It was simply because his speed at cracking formations was absurdly exaggerated.
The master’s Twenty-Seven Wuji Formation was unfathomably profound. Each layer of Formation Barrier contained countless formation nodes.
Just taking one look at it was enough to make an ordinary Nascent Soul feel dizzy and have their mind shaken.
Yet before this four-tribulation Nascent Soul, it seemed to hold no mystery at all—just a casual string of Hand Seals, and it would be effortlessly cracked.
Such a display—despite the three ancient wills having prepared themselves mentally—still left them incomparably shaken.
For a moment, they could only stare blankly, not a single word able to come out.
The one equally shocked was another person.
That was Su Xingtu, who was in the third stage together with Lu Qing.
Originally, Su Xingtu had been focusing wholeheartedly on comprehending the formation, intending to have a proper contest with Lu Qing.
While Lu Qing had his eyes closed in comprehension, Su Xingtu had already successfully broken three layers of Formation Barriers before him.
As someone born with a certain innate formation rune within his body, Su Xingtu’s formation talent was indeed astonishing.
Clearing stages all the way here, he too had seen that the formations of the various stages in this formation trial passage bore some mysterious connection to one another.
He had even caught that flash of insight.
Relying on that sliver of comprehension, his speed in studying the third-stage formation was likewise not slow.
He had used only one hour to break three layers of Formation Barriers.
At this speed, he was confident he could completely crack the formation before him and clear the stage within a day.
With that confidence, when Su Xingtu broke the third barrier, he could not help glancing toward Lu Qing.
He wanted to see whether this mysterious formation master—whom he regarded as an opponent—had made any progress.
But the moment he looked, his eyes widened straight away.
The calm, unhurried expression he always wore could no longer be maintained.
Because he saw that more than half of the Formation Barriers before Lu Qing had already vanished, leaving fewer than ten.
“How is this possible…”
Su Xingtu watched Lu Qing cast a string of Hand Seals and break a barrier within a single breath.
He almost couldn’t believe what he was seeing.
Wasn’t this grand formation before them incomparably profound? Could it really be cracked so simply?
And so, under the gazes of the three ancient wills and a seven-tribulation Nascent Soul peerless formation genius—
Lu Qing, in an extremely short time, broke all the Formation Barriers of the third stage’s Twenty-Seven Wuji Formation with unstoppable momentum.
The total time he used did not even exceed fifty breaths.
At the instant he succeeded, a pillar of light suddenly appeared and enveloped him.
Its dazzling radiance finally snapped the three ancient wills back to themselves.
Then, a wave of wild joy surged through their hearts.
